Along the Osterzgeburgische-Kampfian Empire border
Karl sat on a boulder, slowly eating caffeinated chocolate out of a tin to prepare for the work that would follow in a few hours, and eventually months. He detested the fact that this is how his mandated army service would consist of. As he finished, he put on a neon vest and a hard hat. Why would they be building a wall anyway? It's not even that large of a border. A convoy pulled up a short while later. It consisted of concrete, metal beams, and other raw materials. Strangely, the last handfull trucks had weaponry and ammo. Karl asked his superior officer why they were loaded with all sorts of large cannons and heavy machine guns. "Well, seeing as our not very friendly neighbors absolutely detest our ideals, it would seem a great idea to add some sort of armament to our only border with them," Karl noded. "Right?" "Yeah, I guess so." Karl replied. "Good, now head to the debrief. You'll get to know what is expected and such. You have about 10 minutes until it starts so I recommend you grab some buddies so they don't miss it either." the officer said. "Yes sir." Karl quickly responded. He walked away and grabbed his brother Kurt. They both walked together to the debrief, both wondering why they couldn't have just joined the air force like their father.
